More quotes by Frederick William Robertson
Christ within us, the hope of glory.
Frederick William Robertson
Only what coronation is in an earthly way, baptism is in a heavenly way God's authoritative declaration in material form of a spiritual reality.
Frederick William Robertson
A life of prayer is a life whose litanies are ever fresh acts of self-devoting love.
Frederick William Robertson
Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.
Frederick William Robertson
This world is given as a prize for the men in earnest and that which is true of this world is truer still of the world to come.
Frederick William Robertson
This is the true liberty of Christ, when a free man binds himself in love to duty. Not in shrinking from our distasteful occupations, but in fulfilling them, do we realize our high origin.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation.
Frederick William Robertson
That prayer which does not succeed in moderating our wishes--in changing the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into silent surrender--is no true prayer, and proves that we have not the spirit of true prayer.
Frederick William Robertson
I will tell you what to hate. Hate hypocrisy, hate cant, hate indolence, oppression, injustice hate Pharisaism hate them as Christ hated them with a deep, living, godlike hatred.
Frederick William Robertson
Defeat in doing right is nevertheless victory.
Frederick William Robertson
There is rest in this world nowhere except in Christ, the manifested love of God. Trust in excellence, and the better you become, the keener is the feeling of deficiency. Wrap up all in doubt, and there is a stern voice that will thunder at last out of the wilderness upon your dream.
Frederick William Robertson
Poetry creates life Science dissects death.
Frederick William Robertson
It is not by change of circumstances, but by fitting our spirits to the circumstances in which God has placed us, that we can be reconciled to life and duty.
Frederick William Robertson
In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain (as long as it was done out of love, not personal glory)
Frederick William Robertson
In the darkest hour through which a human soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful, this at least is certain. If there be no God and no future state, yet even then it is better to be generous than selfish, better to be chaste than licentious, better to be true than false, better to be brave than to be a coward.
Frederick William Robertson
He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
Frederick William Robertson
Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.
Frederick William Robertson
There is a two-fold solemnity which belongs to the dying hour-it is the winding up of life, and it is the commencement of eternity.
Frederick William Robertson
By experience by a sense of human frailty by a perception of the soul of goodness in things evil by a cheerful trust in human nature by a strong sense of God's love by long and disciplined realization of the atoning love of Christ only thus can we get a free, manly, large, princely spirit of forgiveness.
Frederick William Robertson
If you think that you can sin, and then by cries avert the consequences of sin, you insult God's character.
Frederick William Robertson
